ARMOUR BUYING WHEAT
In the Mill City— Suicide of Caspar
Seltutte — General News of the
Mill City.
The council now has the exposi
tion matter off Its hands. The joint
| meeting of the council, the school
; board and the park board yesterday
: afternoon accomplished that much,
i but no more. The meeting represent
[ ed the three bodies, but the resolu
: tion was adopted only in the name of
| the council and the school board.
I The resolution recommends and re-
quests the purchase of the exposi
! tion propeity by the park board for
! park purposes.
j There is strong opposition to the
[ purchase among the members of the
; park board, and those present yes
i terday were careful not to com
! Mit themselves. The matter will un
i doubtedly be brought up at the park
; meeting next Monday by Aid. Loye
| and Elliot. There are practically
only three plans. One is to purchase
on the credit of the board, giving a
mortgage on the property, and pay-
ing in yearly installments. This
could be done with an increased levy
of one-tenth of a mill. Another is
to have the council authorize the
park board to Issue bonds, and the
third and last Is to raise it by a spe- "
cial assessment on the whole city,
not necessarily on one levy, but
within a few years. Members of the
board have been very guarded in ex-
pressing their opinions, but it was
evident yesterday that they did not
relish having the responsibility shift-
ed on their shoulders.
The resolution, as presented, read
as follows:
"Resolved by this joint meeting of
the members of the city council, board
of education and park board of the
city of Minneapolis, That the property
now owned by the Minneapolis Indus-
trial Exposition company Is suitable
for park purposes, being situated In
a portion of the city not supplied with
a park, and overlooking, as it does, the
falls of St. Anthony. We therefore rec
ommend and request that the board
of park commissioners purchase the
property for park purposes."
The words "park board" were strick-
en out, and in this: form the resolution
was passed without a dissenting vote. —
ARMOUR BUYS.
iiiil.es Illg Wheat Purchases on
This Sfiur&et.
Phil Armour, the great Chicago pack-
er, is represented on the floor of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
and during the last few weeks he has
been one of the heaviest buyers in the
city. Various estimates have been
placed on the amount of wheat that he
has purchased, some of them running
as high as a couple of millions of
bushels, and it is believed that he has
not purchased less than 1,200,000 bushels
of wheat within the laat month. ~yy
The Chicago man is represented on
the the Minneapolis market by the
well-known firm of Commons, Bassett
& Co., one of the largest ln the North-
west. It was claimed yesterday that
the market had been scoured in an ef-
fort to give Armour all of .the wheat
that he wants. This, however, is
scarcely true. That a large amount
has been purchased for him is evident
by the continued Chicago shipments,
but it has been picked up only when
sold at the prevailing market quota-
tions, and no fancy prices have been
paid.
The shipments of wheat to Chicago
from this city during the month of Oc
tober have exceeded the shipments for
any previous October in the history of
the city, It was said yesterday. Some
days In the latter part of the month as
high as 625 cars were sent Chicagoward,
and much of the wheat was under con-
tract, Indicating that it was destined
for some one purchaser. The average
for the last fifteen daya of the month
will probably be more than 400 cars a
day consigned to the Chicago market.
Of this amount it Is probable that one-
fourth was under contract, making
1,500 cars sent to Chicago, which', it Is
understood, mostly went to the great
pork packer.
The purchase of such an enormous (
amount of wheat has caused consider-
able speculation in Minneapolis as to
the situation", which makes it neces
sary for the . Chlcagoan to stock up
his elevators. One of the common
stories in circulation yesterday was
that Armour was short on his Novem
ber settlement. On the other hand, It
is claimed that Armour has no spec-
ulative object in view in purchasing
such large quantities of wheat. His
elevators in Chicago were empty, as
claimed, this much Is certain, and
being a prudent business man, he de-
termined that he would fill them and
make them pay a return on the invest-
ment.
No alarm Is felt in this city on ac-
count of the large purchases by Ar
mour. It was thought at first that the
wheat might be bought in the interest
of some big combine on the Chicago
market. This, ' however, has proved
not to be the case, and with the im
mense quantity of grain yet to be
marketed, it would be very difficult to
corner the market. Minneapolis' big
buyers do not regard the matter with
any apprehension whatever.
CHURCHMEN DISAGREE.
Committee >■•'! ■ -_. 1 1 1 in_. Charges
A-giiiiist Rev.'Auffust Davis.*'.
Personal difficulties between Prof.
John G. Princell, pastor of the Swed
ish Free Mission church, and Rev.
August Davis, pastor of the Scandi
navian Church of Christ, has caused
serious trouble in the Free Mission
Church of- America. A committee of
representative members of the church
has been In the city sincel Tuesday last
for the purpose of Investigating the
matter and allaying the storm, if pos
sible. This committee consists of Rev.
Messrs. P. J. Elmquist, of Rockford,
111.; C. O. Sahlstrom, of Holdridge,
Neb., and William Bergstrom, of Mm
neapolis. Prof. Princell, at the meet-
ing of (he national body. at Rockford,
111., last week, formally withdrew from
the church, charging that Rev. Davis
had circulated slanders concerning
him and his flock. £» Three specific
charges were made, viz., that Mr. Da-
vis persistently accused Prof. Prlncell
of being the cause of the split In the
Scandinavian Church of Christ; that
he continued to report that Prof. Prin-
cell had made application for admis
sion to the Presbyterian church, after
the latter had denied it from the pulpit
and In the church organs; that he
(Davis) had misrepresented, various
acts of the church, charging, among
others, that certain church festivals,
where innocent merriment had pre-
vailed, were ungodly and so boisterous |

that the nelg-hbors had to threaten to
Invoke tha law. ' '!
The true origin of the strife Is proh-*
- due to the split In the Scandina
vian Church of Christ, whose house of
worship' Is located on Seventh street
arid Twelfth avenue south. About two
years ago it was generally known thait
a dlsaKreemccit was fomenting, and
that two factions had grown up. In
June, 1894, the climax came, when one
party seceded and organized another
.church, calling -Prof. Princell as its
spiritual head. This branch Is now
erecting a beautiful church on Seventh
street and Tenth avenue, which will
be dedicated ln about two weeks.
PLAINLY A suicide.
One PiMtol Shot Ended Life for
Caaper Retinites
A solitary pistol shot attracted the
attention of people living over Schulte's
harness shop, 600 Washington avenue
north, about 3 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing. It was Halloween night; Strang!
noises were not unusual, and people
nearby thought nothing of It. About
7 o'clock, when Charles Schwargert
and H. Reudelstez came to their work
at the shop as usual, they were unable
to gain admission. They went to the
rear of the store and found lying on
the floor inside the body of Casper
Schulte, proprietor of the shop. The
•head was lying in clotted blood. His
right hand lay on his breast, tightly
grasping a new 32-ca.llber revolver. It
told the story in an Instant.
The two men nci.lfled police head-
quarters and Coroner Kistler. An ex-
amination showed that life had been
extinct for some time. One chamber
of the revolver was empty; near the
head of the body was a pair of glasses,
which had evidently fallen from the
nose. On a box near by was Schulte's
hat. There, was no evidence of a strug
gle. The bullet had entered the left
side of the head, -jus* back and a little
above the ear. It had done its work
well. The remains were removed to
the county morgue and an Inquest will
be unnecessary.
Schulte was sixty years of age, and,
with his wife and six children, two
boys and four girls, resided at 637
Eighth avenue north. He was a mem-
ber of the Turnverine, and has resided
in Minneapolis for the past eighteen
years. He was In the best of spirits
Thursday, and was seen by one of his
sons about 8 o'clock In the evening.
•Nothing unusual waa expected by the
family in that he did not return home,
as he quite often staid at the store at
night.
CLEMENCY FOR SCHEIG.
...:■"::' 'J
Petition for a Pardon Receiving;
Signatures.
Gov. Clough will be presented with
a petition asking for the pardon of
Phillip Seheig, who, with the • Floyd
brothers, embezzled very extensively
from the Bank of Minneapolis. It is
commonly known In Minneapolis that
Gov. Clough and the other officers of
the bank, while, of course, surprised
beyond measure by the crookedness of
the triumvirate of reckless young fel-
lows, were rather . pleased with the
manner In which Schelg acted after
arrest. It is known that Schelg did
everything in his power to aid the of-
cers of the bank in straightening
things out, and that It was owing to
his assistance that the bank was able
to recover as much of the stolen money
as was recovered. When the Floyd
boys were released from tho pniten-
boy.3 were released from the peniten
tiary, a couple of .weeks ago, there
was a general feeling that the gover-
nor would soon pardon Seheig. That
the officers of the bank are very fa-
vorably disposed toward Schelg, and
would prefer to have him out of prison,
was indicated yesterday when Pres
ident A. R. Kirby, who was elected
to* the .presidency when Gov. Clough
resigned from that position several
days ago, signed the petition which
asks for Scheig's release.
Fined 950 Each.
Stanley H. Hu stead, an elderly gen-
tleman, who holds a position as boiler
inspector, was arraigned In the police
court yesterday,, with a twenty-one-
year-old girl named May Kruse, on a
serious charge, Mrs. Hannah E. Hus-
tead being the complainant. She al-
leges that her husband has not been
supporting her for the past three years
and that he has lived (with the co-
defendant the greater part of this time

Little Girl'M Bold Theft.
A peculiar ease of thieving occurred
Wednesday in the Nicollet avenue
store of Mm C. W. Penfleld. A little
girl, apparently, about ten years of
age, came Into the store to look at
some bicycles. She finally selected a
"Swan," which she thought would suit
her, and eventually asked to be al-
lowed to take It out on the pavement
and see If she could ride it. This was
agreed to, and nothing has since been
seen of the girl or the bicycle. The
matter was reported to the police.

WESTERN PASSENGER MEN.
Their "New Agreement Is Almost
Ready to Go Into Effect
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.- General passen
ger agents of the Western roads voted
today on the agreement which they
have been considering for the past two
weeks. They adopted it with the ex-
ception of two disputed points, which
will be referred to the executive of
ficers for action. One of these points
Is the claim of the Illinois Central to
have its business to points south of
the Ohio river exempted from the pro-
visions of the agreement. This is a
point it has always Insisted upon and
It has always succeeded in securing
the exemption in the past. Some roads
object, however, -to Its enjoying the
privilege any longer and it will re
quire the executive officers to settle the
point. The other disputed matter re-
lates to the organization of local as-
sociations. Some of the roads object
to being compelled to be members of
local associations in territory not
reached by their lines but yet where
they maintain local agencies. Their
objection Is based on the question of
expense. While the agreement as at
present drafted relates only to the
territory east of the Missouri river, it
is understood that the lines west of the
river are prepared to come in, and the
agreement will eventually cover 'all
territory up to Colorado common
points. ;.;. :.';
An agreement was. virtually adopted
today by the Western roads covering
the Issue of half-fare clergy permits
for 1896. It provides for the creation of
a new bureau ln connection with the
Western Passenger association, to have
charge of the issue of all such permits.
SOO'S LATEST CUT.'
It Has Started the Other Roads
Talking.
The action of the Soo road in slash-
ing its rates to the East was pretty
thoroughly discussed In passenger cir
cles here yesterday, although many of
the representatives of the St. Paul-
Chicago lines are still in Chicago. The
cutting of rates on the various North-
western lines not only affected the
Soo on its through business, but it
suffered ' on that score, as there were
numerous travelers '.* always ready to
take advantage of' the cheap rates to
Chicago to reduce their fare West
The tariff Issued yesterday gets back
at the Chicago * lines in earnest, be-
cause, by the rate card, the Chicago
haul •Is almost entirely eliminated, |
j while In ail cases of. tickets east, via ;
, Chicago, on a joint tariff, "the Eastern
connections will douibtless demand full
faro, without. regard* to, what the busi-
ness may be- done for here. In addi
tion to Its tariff, the Soo has Issued
a new trans-Atlantic sheet establish-
ing a rate cf $36 to« Norway and Sweden
by the Allen line of steamers? The
rates to other European points are In
proportion, and, j Inasmuch as 'ax this
season of the year there Is a large
traffic among foreign-born cltlzens.who
are returning to their old homes, this
line will no doubt secure a big share
of the business. :;,>,/;-' i

General Superintendent J. M. Barr,
of the Great Northern, took up , his
new duties yesterday, although he has
* been in the city a .number of days.
Mr. Barr has been all over the new
district just placed In his jurisdiction,
so that it will take but little time for
him to familiarize himself with the
details of his office. /
He still 'has charge of the district,

NEW YORK, Nov. I.— ln view of the

ROME FEELS SHOCKED.
One Earthquake Tremor Causes a
, Lot of Fright.
ROME, Nov. I.— A severe and pro-
longed earthquake shock was felt here
at 4:38 this morning. Many houses
swayed badly, walls cracked, pictures
and other articles fell, people ran
panic-stricken Into the Streets and a
serious disaster was for a time ap
prehended. Happily the first shock
seemed to have ended the disturbances,
and the frightened inhabitants re-
turned to their homes. So far as
known no serious damage was done.
An inspection of the public buildings
will ba made to determine the extent
of their Injuries. Some Idea of the
alarm created may be gathered from
the fact that the prison of Regina
Coell was so badly shaken that the
terrified prisoners broke into open re--
volt and tried to escape. Troops from
a neighboring barrack were hastily
summoned, and It was not until they
had surrounded and taken possession
of the prison that order was restored.
The inmates were driven set the point
of the bayonet Into their cells. _■ ' ■ ■II ]
The Vatican buildings were severe-
ly shaken, but the pope was perfectly
tranquil throughout the disturbance.
The thoughts of his holiness were not
for himself, but for other people 'in
danger. He. sent to the nearest police
depot in order to Inquire If there had
been any loss of life or property, £&d
was much relieved, when informed
that the damage done was slight, and
that no loss of life had been reported.

Report of the Sitiirnguan Canal
..-'•-,.:; Commission.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Nic-
araguan canal commission, through
Col. Ludlow, its chairman, today sub-
mitted to the president, through Sec-'
retary Olney, its report upon the ex-
amination of the route of the canal
directed by congress last session. Al-
though the report probably will be
withheld from the public until jj con-
gress meets, there is good reason to j
believe that generally it finds the caWil ;
project entirely feasible and worthy .
of execution. It is believed that come;
changes have been . suggested in | the *
' line of the projected canal, but not
to affect the question of expediency
in any material degree. ; i

In reference to the book, but were
overruled, and the witness answered:
"I got some of It from Mr. Shoemak
er, Holmes' lawyer, and some from
Miss Long, a typewriter in his office,
i and published just what I received."
Amy Long, the typewriter referred
to, said she received the manuscript
of the bock from Mr. Shoemaker. It
was in pencil, and the handwriting
was unknown to her. A specimen of
Holmes' handwriting was shown her
and she Identified It as the same. .
THE LAST WITNESSES.
' Agent Perry, of the Insurance com-
pany, was recalled to identify Holmes'
handwriting.
Detective Geyer, recalled, said he had
been sent down to Holmes' cell about
five weeks ago to see If there was any
poison concealed -there. While making
search he came upon the manuscript
of the book and brought It to the dis
trict attorney. He also found ln
Holmes' cell besides the manuscript a
letter to John ' King, about the sale of
the book. **. y "
i The commonwealth offered In cvi
. dence the letters, papers, pictures and
the Holmes book and rested its case.
The defense here askd to recall Miss
Yoke for recross-examlnatlon on the
question of her marriage with Holmes,
which was not brought out in her ex-
amination yesterday. She was brought
Into court and given a seat on the wit-
ness stand.
* "Mrs. Holmes," began Mr. Rotan, to
the woman who calls- herself Miss
Yoke, "were you ever married to the
prisoner?"
"I was."
"When and where?"
"When and where?"
"On Jan. 17, 1894, at Denver, by Rev.
Mr. Wilcox."
"At the time of this marriage did
you know of the existence of this Will-
amette woman?"
"I believe I did."
"Was she called Mrs. Holmes?" .
"I don't remember."
"You were sure when you married
him that he was not married to the
Willamette woman?"
"I knew nothing of the woman."
"Did you know anything of any other
marriage?" . : ■
. "I had heard of another."
"To' whom?" • .,
"I 'don't know the name."
"Where?" •
"Gilmanton, N. H."
HOW HE EXPLAINED IT.
. "What did Holmes tell his family to
excuse his marriage with you when
he had a wife at Gilmanton?"
"I was not with him when he vis-
ited them."
"Did his sister tell you what he said
! I to her about it?"
■ ii "She did. His sister told me that
■ he had told her that he had been In
i jured In a wreck and lay a long time
.in a hospital; that I was a patroness
i of the hospital, and asked the phy
sicians to perform an operation on
him which saved his mind, and tha,t I

matter, what did he say?"
I "He said he had received word that

'..,. "Was there any truth in the story

"When you married 'him you be-
lieved you were becoming his lawful
wife?"
: a "I did."
"Or you would not have married
him?"
"I would not."
"Now, tell me what deception he used
"Now, tell me what deception he used
to bring about this marriage? What
did he represent?"
"He' told my mother that his uncle
had died and left him certain prop-
erty in the South, the West and in
Fort Worth, ' providing he took his
uncle's name, Henry Mancll Howard.
He had no relatives living except an
aunt In Africa. I found that he had
a father, mother, two sisters and two
brothers. He explained his taking the
name of Pratt in Fort Worth by say-
ing his business complications re-
quired It." *.;;; * •','•. y V • :'.*.'
Counsel for the defense made ob-
jection to the admission of this testi
mony or anything that did not relate
to the murder of Pietzel. They also
asked for an exception to the irrev-
elant matters mentioned by the dis
trict attorney in his opening argu
ment, but Judge Arnold said that was
not a matter of record, and overruled
the motion. ' Miss Yoke, at the con-
elusion of her testimony, retired and
laid her head in her hands on the
back of a chair. Then she was led
from the court room. Her presence
did not move Holmes today.
PLEADING FOR DELAY.
Immediately upon the reassembling
of court Mr. Rotan advanced to the bar
of the court and Bald: "May it please
the court,' If the commonwealth has
closed Its case, we feel sure that it
has not proven its case. It Is incum-
bent upon the commonwealth to prove
murder beyond a reasonable doubt.
They have not done so."
Mr. Graham smiled broadly.
"They have proved," continued Mr.
Rotan, "that these men came here to
J carry out a fraud, but their testimony

suicide, It may have been a killing; but
we feel sure, under the rulings, that
there is a reasonable doubt; first, as to
whether Pietzel was killed; second, as
to whether the prisoner killed him.
They have not made out what the law
calls a corpus delicti. They have prov-
ed that a body was found, but, not that
anybody killed it. We must therefore
pray that you take the case away form
the jury, or give them binding Instruc
tions."
"This Is so ridiculous," Interposed
Mr. Graham, "that I decline to argue
it."
"This Is not the. time to make a rul-
ing,". Judge Arnold decided, "I express
no opinion. The Jury must decide after
they hear you." . - yy. ■
"Then," continued Mr. Rotan, "we
must entreat your honor to grant us a
continuance of a.t least an hour, In
which to decide upon a line of de-
fense. In consequence of the lack of
time to outline our course and the vast
quantity of new' testimony introduced
we cannot proceed without at least this
brief continuance."
Mr. Graham objected, saying that
when the first motion for a continuance
was made counsel had pleaded that
they would go on If no evidence was
introduced except the hearing on this
crime, and as the other matters had
been ruled out, the case ought to pro-
ceed. Judge Arnold told counsel they
must make their selection between call-
ing witness orrfioing to the Jury on ar
gument alone, after a side-bar con-
sultation he ordered a recess of half
an hour to permit them to confer with
the prisoner on the question.
NO WITNESSES.
It was forty-five minutes later when
Messrs Shoemaker and Rotan returned
to court and held a whispered talk with
the judge and the district attorney.
This lasted for ten minutes and then
there was an order to bring the pris-
oner back to the dock. When the case
was finally resumed It was 3 o'clock.
Meanwhile Mr. Shoemaker said private-
ly that they had decided to call no wit-
nesses for the defense, but to rest on
the commonwealth's case. Mr. Rotan
made the formal announcement to. the
court a moment later. He said:
"On account of our inability to bring
a number of Important witnesses from
other places, we have, after a con-
ference with our client, decided to pre-
sent no testimony whatever, feeling
that the commonwealth has not proved
its case. We do this, however, with the
provision that the court does not
hasten us on with our speeches, which
we have had no time to prepare. We
ask, therefore, that the arguments
postponed until tomorrow morning."
Judge Arnold asked District Attorney
Graham's opinion. :;»---;
J The case has closed," replied that of-
ficial, "and I should prefer to open
argument In the morning. It won't take
long. It Is easily argued."
"Well," sold the judge, "we will hear
both sides tomorrow." '■ ''■■-•.. '.--.
Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

and prepared to return to the county
jail. With his overcoat swung care-
lessly over his arm, he walked leisure-
ly out of the room, twirling his slight
mustache with apparently as little
concern as if he were merely a spec-
tator instead of the principal .figure in
the exciting scene. Aside from the
spectators, Mrs." Noble, Blanche La-
monts aunt, and Maud Lamont, the
dead girl's sister, were apparently the
happiest persons in the room. When
the verdict was announced Maud La-
mont sprang from her seat, clasped
her hands and then cried of sheer ex-
citement. Mrs. Noble mixed smiles
with tears, and shook hands with a
number of friends who crowded around
to congratulate her. As soon as Dur-
rant left the building the crowd surged
out of the room and gathered around
the door out of which the prisoner
usually came to reach the prison van.
Fearing that some violence might be
offered the prisoner, he was taken out
of another door and driven by a cir
cuitous route to the county jail.
The verdict fell with all Its force On
Durrant and his family, who had
banked all their hopes on a disagree-
ment. While Mrs. Durrant knew that
it was* among the possibilities that her
son would be acquitted, her friends
said she steadfastly maintained that a
shadow of doubt would rest in the
mind of one of the jurors, and that
her son would not be convicted. She
was, therefore, totally unprepared for
the jury to find her son guilty in twen
ty minutes. When the verdict was an-
nounced the whole weight of her sor-
row seemed to fall upon her, and she
gave way to uncontrollable grief. But
once during the whole trial had she
shown any anxiety or feeling. When
District Attorney Barnes was yester-
day In the midst of one of his most
bitter arraignments of the prisoner,
whom he characterized as the most
brutal" murderer in the history of
American jurisprudence, Mrs. Durrant
threw her arms around the neck of
her son and wept.
CREDIT FOR BARNES.
By common consent District Attor
ney Barnes Is given most of the credit
for the conviction of the greatest mur
derer that was ever tried In Califor
nia. While the police department did
excellent work, it is believed that Mr.
Barnes' address, which consumed two
days and a half in its delivery, had
much to do with removing any linger-
ing doubt from the minds of the jurors,
if at any time there was a juror who
"was not convinced of Durrant's guilt.
Barnes' address Is considered one of
the most logical and eloquent efforts
that was ever made before a Califor
nia jury. He is given greater credit
for the verdict from the fact that the i
evidence was entirely circumstantial.
The case will be appealed to the su- |
preme court, and It la expected that
nearly a year will elapse before a de-
cision can be obtained. While It Is not
thought that any error has been com-
mitted, the defense has embraced cv-
cry opportunity to take exceptions to
the rulings of the court. Gen. Dick-
inson took exception to the feature of '
the district attorney's argument today. !
He also took exception to the judge's
charge, Vyy ■'■- y-y; : '.'■--
The people of the city are almost as
excited tonight over the verdict as they j
were when the horrible Emanuel ;
church murders were first discovered, i
For months the Durrant case has been [
an all-absorbing topic here, and every j
phase of the most sensational trial in
the history of the Pacific coast has been !
followed with close attention. While ;
some few of Durrant's friends profess
to believe that It was Impossible for
him to commit the crimes, the general ;
verdict is that he is guilty and should
hang. The verdict of the jury was an-
nounced just In time for the evening
papers and ln an Incredibly short timo
extra editions were on the streets.
Crowds gathered about bulletin boards
in various parts of the city and gen
eral satisfaction was expressed for the
conviction,

who testified at the trial that Durrani
had told her he saw. Blanche Lamont i
murdered In the belfry of Emanuel
church, and who said that Durrant
showed her an envelope containing a
statement to bo. opened after he was
convicted, • has made public her side
of the story. She says that when she
visited Durrant at the jail he told her
a remarkable story, with the Idea that
she was to be a witness for the defense.
He said he had been sworn to secrecy
by the murderers, but he felt that if

Testimonials for publication are tak
en quite at random by the present pro
prietors of this great remedy.

Titles are never placed before the

obscure men are never said to be
"honorables." Every kind of men
who have been made well by Paine's
celery compound are never paraded be
fore the public as "The Great Mr. So
and-So," or "The Wonderfully Success
ful Mr. Thls-and-That." Cases of or
dinary sickness are never elaborated
into hideous, Impossible diseases.
When it happens that the mail brings
a heartfelt letter from such a man as
State Treasurer Colvin, of New York,
or Mr. Carlisle's private secretary, or
Edmund Russell, or Mayor McShane,
of Montreal, or Rev. Fr. Ouellet, or I
of what the story was he would be re- I
leased from his oath. Miss Cunning
ham agreed to this and Durrant told
her the following story:
"While I was fixing the sun burners
of Emanuel church I heard a noise.
I followed the sound to the belfry and
ascertained that Blanche Lamont was
murdered on the s:cond landing. I en
countered the murderers, promised
never to reveal what I had discovered
and rushed down stairs to George King.
I had an appointment with King and
fared he might go searching for me.
I was much distressed over what I had
seen and I felt nauseated, but did not
send King for bromo-seltzer, because
I wanted the medicine. I sent him out
of the. church in order to give the
guilty men a chance to escape."
Miss Cunningham says that Durrant
told her that the murderers exercised
an unaccountable Influence over him
and swore to spirit his mother away If
he told what he had seen. He said that
he had given the statement to his at
torneys, but they had decided not to
use it. He said . the story related to
Miss Cunningham was practically the
same as that contained ln the state
ment,- with the exception that the
names of the murderers and a few de
tails were omitted.
